Has to be Dean Windass. I always hoped that he had a sister named Wendy.

Back at the turn of the century a guy called Lionel Beinvenue used to host an EPL highlights show on Fox Sports World in the US.
And he used to get a great kick out of the name "Nicky Butt".
I only wonder how much fun he would have had with Dean Windass had Windass been plying his trade at the top table.

If you went out on the pull and you said your name was Gabriel Batistuta you will more than likely get laid.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Sebastian Schweinsteiger, great names.
